RaspberryPi Camera Viewer APK Download for Android

Description

Application has been originally designed to view camera stream from hardware Raspberry Pi cameras. To build the stream, gstreamer has been chosen as the best open source multimedia framework. During the time number of desired features and configuration options grow, so application is morphing into gstreamer viewer. In current version you are able to build any pipeline (in gstreamer format) and view it on any Android device

Starting from version 4.0 you can create your own plugins. More details on github: https://github.com/pzuk/raspberry-pi-camera-viewer-plugins/

You can also easily embed RaspberryPi Camera Viewer to your Android application
More details on github: https://github.com/pzuk/raspberry-pi-camera-viewer-embedded-example

Current version is backward compatible with previous versions, so if you still want to watch stream from your RaspberryPi only, please follow points below:
1. Connect RaspberryPi Camera board
2. ssh to your Raspberry Pi and launch:
raspivid -n -t 0 -h 200 -w 320 -fps 25 -hf -b 2000000 -o - | gst-launch-1.0 -v fdsrc ! h264parse ! rtph264pay config-interval=1 pt=96 ! gdppay ! tcpserversink host=192.168.0.20 port=5000
where host=192.168.0.20 should be replaced by your RaspberryPI IP address.

Low latency version:
1. Connect RaspberryPi Camera board
2. ssh to your Raspberry Pi and launch:
raspivid -t 0 -hf -n -h 480 -w 640 -fps 15 -o - | nc -l -p 5001
3. Open RaspberryPi Camera Viewer and launch pipeline:
tcpclientsrc host=192.168.0.20 port=5001 ! queue2 max-size-buffers=1 ! decodebin ! autovideosink sync=false

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★what is wrong with just using vnc

4 ★Great app - no ads, configurable gstreamer command. Much slower than my PC's though, must be an Android or phone/tablet limitation, can get roughly realtime at 720x414

5 ★This is one of the best apps for viewing gstreamer streams from araspberrypi. For some reason though, if you go to a UDP stream that alreadystarted, it will not work, and you will have to restart the program on thepi.

5 ★First application, that realy works from raspberry Pi. Thanks for autors.

4 ★Good app, and it getting better

5 ★Excellent barebone yet flexible implementation of the gstreamer API, I used it to stream high resolution video from the v2 camera mounted on the new Pi Zero (over Wifi!) with less than one second delay, which is impressive to me. One single glitch that I noticed for the current version: the video stream always disconnects when I switch between full screen and normal view (by tapping the icon in the right-hand corner), which does not make much sense (this should NOT affect the backend streaming process, it's just a viewer setting, right?), but thankfully the video area stays maximized and at that point it's easy to restart the stream on the pi and then tap again the "play" button in the middle of the screen to restart the streaming.

5 ★Can you add audio option. I know gstreamer supports audio that will complete this app?

4 ★Does what is promise, I would give 5 stars if actual full screen is available. I read this will be address in the next update. Does anyone know which one?

5 ★I want to receive UDP video stream, this will lowers the latency again! Does it supports it?

5 ★Like it very much, Full Screen option would be very nice!

5 ★Thanks a lot for the nice app. The author even helped me with my class project!

5 ★Works great with very little delay in the stream from a RPI2 to a S4. Nice clean implementation. All you need on the RPI side is to install gstreamer1.0 and launch with the command in the description (also a camera module installed). possible ideas for update: full screen for the video and UDP mode.
